Audi’s A8 is the pinnacle of German über-luxury sedans, with an exterior that is understated yet impressive. It’s beautiful inside, too, but don’t be fooled: The A8 can be quite athletic when the road gets twisty. A 333-hp, 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 is standard; a 435-hp, 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 is optional. Stretch out in the long-wheelbase A8L and you’ll find two more engine options: a 3.0-liter V-6 TDI and a 6.3-liter W12 making 500 hp. Beware, however, the W12’s equally tremendous price.
BMW 7SERIES
Dripping in luxury and with a seemingly endless options list, the
7-series caters to the enthusiast with a taste for the high life. Engine
choices range from an inline-six, V-8, or V-12—and a hybrid or a
turbo-diesel, too. An eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are
standard; all-wheel drive is offered, as is a long-wheelbase model. The
7-series is quite athletic for such a big car thanks to a well-balanced
chassis, great steering, and strong brakes. An all-new 7 goes on sale
this fall. 
MERCEDES BENZ S-CLASS
The S-class has always been synonymous with luxury, indulgence, and
wealth, and it doesn’t disappoint. In the sedan, buyers can choose
either a 449-hp 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8 or a 523-hp 6.0-liter
twin-turbo V-12 with a seven-speed automatic and either rear- or
all-wheel drive. The perfectly stunning coupe features only the V-8 and
feels surprisingly nimble for its size. The S-class is the car you buy
when you’ve made it big.
